* block: adjust blkdev_issue_discard for swapHugh Dickins2008-10-091-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Two mods to blkdev_issue_discard(), thinking ahead to its use on swap: 1. Add gfp_mask argument, so swap allocation can use it where GFP_KERNEL might deadlock but GFP_NOIO is safe. 2. Enlarge nr_sects argument from unsigned to sector_t: unsigned long is enough to cover a whole swap area, but sector_t suits any partition. Change sb_issue_discard()'s nr_blocks to sector_t too; but no need seen for a gfp_mask there, just pass GFP_KERNEL down to blkdev_issue_discard().

* Allow elevators to sort/merge discard requestsDavid Woodhouse2008-10-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | But blkdev_issue_discard() still emits requests which are interpreted as soft barriers, because naïve callers might otherwise issue subsequent writes to those same sectors, which might cross on the queue (if they're reallocated quickly enough). Callers still _can_ issue non-barrier discard requests, but they have to take care of queue ordering for themselves.

* Add 'discard' request handlingDavid Woodhouse2008-10-091-0/+69
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some block devices benefit from a hint that they can forget the contents of certain sectors. Add basic support for this to the block core, along with a 'blkdev_issue_discard()' helper function which issues such requests. The caller doesn't get to provide an end_io functio, since blkdev_issue_discard() will automatically split the request up into multiple bios if appropriate. Neither does the function wait for completion -- it's expected that callers won't care about when, or even _if_, the request completes. It's only a hint to the device anyway. By definition, the file system doesn't _care_ about these sectors any more.

* block: rename and export rq_init()FUJITA Tomonori2008-04-291-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This rename rq_init() blk_rq_init() and export it. Any path that hands the request to the block layer needs to call it to initialize the request. This is a preparation for large command support, which needs to initialize the request in a proper way (that is, just doing a memset() will not work).

* block: make rq_init() do a full memset()FUJITA Tomonori2008-04-291-6/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This requires moving rq_init() from get_request() to blk_alloc_request(). The upside is that we can now require an rq_init() from any path that wishes to hand the request to the block layer. rq_init() will be exported for the code that uses struct request without blk_get_request. This is a preparation for large command support, which needs to initialize struct request in a proper way (that is, just doing a memset() will not work).
